Our extracurricular activities have begun and the children
are having so much fun! We would like to
extend a big thanks to Kristen Mull and Mary Disse for connecting the students
with Lego Club, Joe Sommers and Jessica Casteel for drawing the students in
during Art Club, and Molly Arnoldt, Agnes Guerra, and Diane Grassi for keeping
the pace with Running Club. And

Manna is
back!
Our middle school
students are managing the Manna program as a fundraiser again this year. With Manna cards, you generate fundraising
dollars for the middle school program and we split the generated revenue 50/50
with you and apply the amount towards your tuition bill next year, or you can
donate all the revenue to the middle school program.
Manna orders
are due this Friday, September 25th and cards can be picked up on
Wednesday, October 3rd. You can order online if you have placed a previous order or stop
by the Business Office and talk to Dotty who can give you a paper copy or get
you set-up to order online. You can
order cards for your regular grocery shopping, gas purchases, home improvement
projects and movie going, or plan presents for birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings. Manna offers cards for: Dominicks/Jewel, Home
Depot/Menards, Sears, Dick's Sporting Goods, iTunes, Game Stop and many
more. Gas and hotel cards make travel
plans a breeze. Thanks for your
participation in this great fund raiser!
